MARC Vivien Foe will only become a Manchester City player in the summer if Olympique Lyon dramatically lower their transfer demand.
The Cameroon international, who has been a revelation for the Blues this season, has been hoping to secure a permanent deal at Maine Road following his successful extended loan.
And City boss Kevin Keegan wants to keep the goalscoring midfielder on a long-term basis after making him the mainstay of his engine-room this season.
However, that is looking unlikely after the French side stunned the Blues by demanding a massive é7m fee for the 27-year-old.
City had been expected to offer around é4m for the French championship winner and Keegan said today: "We have talked with Lyon but we will not be taking up that option as we do not have that much to spend. The figure is just too much.
"I have told Marc that I would still like to keep him here next season but we will have to talk further with Lyon. We had to give them an answer today and at the moment that has to be no.
"I have told Marc that I have just not got that type of money at the minute so other than that there's not much more we can do.
"Marc has done very, very well for us. He has been a very good player and an important part of what we are trying to do here and I really hope that we can keep him and he will still be ours next season but it is looking less and less likely.
"He only has one year on his contract at Lyon left so for them to ask for é7m is an unrealistic price but that's for Lyon to deal with.
"I have talked with acting chairman John Wardle and at this moment we do not know how much money we will have for next season so we just can't take up the option to buy Marc at the minute."
Foe's a no-go!
MARC Vivien Foe will only become a Manchester City player in the summer if Olympique Lyon dramatically lower their transfer demand.

My baby has white patches in her mouth. What could this be?
It could be the common and sometimes painful oral yeast infection known as thrush. Thrush causes creamy white or yellow patches to appear on the sides, roof, gums, lips, and tongue of a baby's mouth. It also can spread to the throat, tonsils, or esophagus. Thrush is most common in infants and toddlers.
What causes thrush?
Yeast is a normal part of everyone's digestive system, but if there's an imbalance an infection can set in.
Some infants first come in contact with yeast in the birth canal. After your baby is born, antibiotics can trigger a case of thrush, whether you are taking the medication (if you're breastfeeding) or your baby is. That's because antibiotics kill off "good" bacteria that keep yeast in check.
Some moms and babies pass the infection back and forth: Your baby can spread thrush to you if you're breastfeeding, resulting in a painful yeast infection on your nipples that will require treatment. And you can give your baby a case of thrush if you're breastfeeding and develop a yeast infection on your nipples from taking antibiotics.
On the other hand, it's possible for you both to remain uninfected, even if you're breastfeeding a baby who has thrush. Similarly, your breastfed baby may not be affected by your yeast infection
Some people think thrush can also be caused by sucking on a bottle or pacifier for an extended period of time. Others think unclean bottle nipples are to blame. But infants who breastfeed exclusively and don't use pacifiers can still get thrush, so it's hard to pinpoint one single cause. Some babies (and moms) are simply more susceptible to yeast infections than others.
How can I know for sure that it's thrush?
If you notice a white coating only on your baby's tongue, it's probably just milk residue (especially if you can wipe it off).
But if you see the characteristic white or yellow patches in your baby's mouth or throat, call your baby's healthcare provider, especially if these spots seem painful – you may first suspect thrush if your baby starts crying when nursing or sucking on a pacifier or bottle.
How can I treat thrush?
If your baby's provider diagnoses thrush, she may prescribe an oral fungal medication (often nystatin). It may take about two weeks to clear up the infection. Your doctor also may recommend giving your baby acetaminophen for the pain.
Some babies with thrush also develop a yeast diaper rash. If that happens, your provider may also prescribe nystatin to use in the diaper area.
If you're breastfeeding a baby with thrush, many providers recommend that you apply nystatin or clotrimazole to your nipples so that you and your baby won't pass the infection back and forth.
Check in with your provider if the infection still doesn't seem to clear up – recurrences are fairly common.
Can I prevent my baby from getting thrush?
Because thrush is often triggered by antibiotics, don't give these medications to your baby unless absolutely necessary. (Antibiotics don't help against viral infections.)
Cleaning and sterilizing pacifiers also may help. And some providers advise breastfeeding mothers to let their nipples air dry between feedings to help prevent thrush.
Is thrush dangerous?
No. But if your baby is very fussy and uncomfortable, thrush could interfere with feeding. A hungry baby who finds it painful to eat is a very sad sight, and a bout of thrush can be very trying.
Give your baby all the comfort he needs and follow your provider's instructions for pain relief and medication. And remember that this infection, too, shall pass.

It is somewhat amazing how pregnancy binds women. Once you're in the club people confide in you. They will tell you about their sex lives, difficulties conceiving, and birth experiences without pause. It is as if the belly contains a truth serum that compells all women--friends, acquaitances, strangers, to share intimate details about their lives.
I have heard about low sperm counts, lack luster sex lives, and husbands who proved to be unreliable partners. I have heard about chafed breasts, sore nether regions, and postpartum depression.
People have also asked me the most personal questions. They have asked me about my weight gain and whether I was "trying to conceive". Someone even asked me, "girl how did you get pregnant?!" I couldn't bring myself to say, "I think it was holiday cheer and champagne." Then again, perhaps I should have answered the question. It seems as if when you're in the club, nothing's off limits.

Russell is a city in Lucas County, Iowa, United States. The population was 554 in the 2010 census, a decline from the 559 population in the 2000 census
|Russell, Iowa
Location of Russell, Iowa
Russell was incorporated as a city on April 25, 1887.
Russell is located at 40°58′57″N 93°11′55″W (40.982388, -93.198642).

The Russell Community School District at one time maintained its own K-12 school, with a five-member board of education overseeing operation of the district. Athletic teams were known as the Trojans.
The Russell School District was forced to close in 2008, making it the second time this happened in the state of Iowa; the other was Hedrickin 1990. The Iowa Board of Education cited the district's financial problems, which left Russell school officials unable to provide students with a first-rate education. Students were eventually sent to schools in the Albia, Chariton and Wayne of Corydon school districts.

-Casey RhymesLearn more about Aeropres »
"Every time that we have called them with either needing assistance in our welding processes, helping us decide what welding machines we might want to purchase in the future, they've always been real responsive in bringing us the machines we need that help us improve our processes. Hopefully, the goal for us is to improve our processes over the years, and I think Red Ball has done that very well."
"I would recommend everyone at least giving Red Ball an opportunity to come in and talk to them. They have saved us money over the last year in the purchasing of our gases. And they will work with you any way that they can to get your confidence and to help you out. Like they're almost a member of our company, and that's very unusual in today's market."

"They have a good service department that comes out on site and fixes your equipment. If they can't fix your equipment, they get equipment that you can use so you're not down. A lot of companies will fix your stuff, but won't give you equipment to use while your stuff's down."
"We're doing a lot of wedling training. We have a lot of bilingual people here, and Red Ball has taken it upon themselves to get on my charts and all the training stuff bilingual for us, which is a good plus. The companies didn't offer the training materials in Spanish. Red Ball and their guys went out and got it translated into Spanish and English, and it's all bilingual now.....They did it on their own, and now we're doing training in bilingual, which is really good for our weld shop."
-Joshua Carpenter
"When Red Ball Oxygen does come out, it's always friendly. They never act like we're troubling them. It can be any time - night or day - they're always happy to have the call. It's just refreshing to have someone that values the customer at the end of the relationship the way Red Ball does."

"Well, we find that Red Ball, like a good pertner, is very concerned about us and very concerned about our success. They do whatever they can do to make us successful."
-Ken HarrisonLearn more about Fluidic Techniques »

They've always been real good to us."
"I chose Red Ball to do business with because they're always there. They never let me down. They always do what they say they're going to do. We work seven days a week and if I have a problem on the weekend, or 12 a.m. I can always get somebody on the phone and they will take care of my needs. If I order something and tell them I've got to have it they make sure I have it and they take care of all my needs."

'Paper Towns': Cara Delevingne & Nat Wolff Smolder In First Poster
So exciting! 'Paper Towns' won't hit theaters until July, but we've got our first look at the film's star, supermodel turned actress Cara Delevingne, in the just released poster for the mysterious new movie!
Atta girl, Cara Delevingne! The model is really taking her new career path as an actress head on. Alongside Nat Wolff, Cara will star in the upcoming film Paper Towns, based on the book by John Green (who also wrote another book turned movie you may have heard of called The Fault in our Stars). The movie is set to hit theaters on July 24, but we've got our first look at the rom-com mystery right now. Check out the just released poster for the new flick!
'Paper Towns' Poster: Cara Delevingne Stars In New Mystery
Cannot wait for this one!
In the upcoming film adaptation of Paper Towns, Nat plays Quentin who, along with his friends, sets out to find the missing girl next door who's gone missing. Said missing girl, obviously, is played by none other than Ms. Cara!
Though the film's poster doesn't tell us much, both Cara and Nat look good as they smolder away– and of course, Cara's signature eyebrows are as impressive as ever!
Cara's Film Career
Though Cara has been one of the world's top supermodels for the past couple of years, she has recently ventured into acting– and it seems to be going well for her! Along with Paper Towns, she also stars in the upcoming thriller Face of an Angel, based on the real life events of the Amanda Knox case.
Still though, just because her acting career is budding does not mean she is tossing in the model towel. Along with appearing on the April cover of British Vogue, she also participated in several Paris Fashion Week events, including the ever elite Chanel show.
What do you think of the Paper Towns poster? Are you excited for the new movie?

FDIC: U.S. Banks Increased Earnings, Set Aside Fewer Reserves in 4Q
Quarterly Report Counts Fewer Failures, Less 'Problem' Banks
WASHINGTON—U.S. banks logged another quarter of increased earnings at the end of last year, but much of the boost was attributable to banks setting aside fewer reserves against losses, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said in a report Wednesday.
The FDIC measured banks' aggregate net income at $40.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of $5.8 billion from a year earlier. In the past 18 quarters, banks have increased year-over-year earnings 17 times, the FDIC said....

Remember when Pinterest was that thing that you had to get an invitation to join? We were all hearing things about this new platform to find recipes and DIY crafts. It sounded pretty fun. Then one day, like most other social media platforms, it became so much more. Now it is widely recognized as one of the best blogging resources on the web.
So what's all the buzz about using social media to grow your blog? You may have read posts about how you can "double your traffic by doing x" or why you "should be using y". But are you really getting the most of your social media accounts?
Here are some ways you could be more effective in using social media to grow your blog:
A while back I read a post about scheduling Tweets, and why you should be doing it on on Life Could Be a Dream. It's useful, because you can still have a social media presence without being glued to your phone. We have busy lives! So must of us can't be sharing posts or quotes all day long. When I heard about Hootsuite, I realized that I could connect it to more than just Twitter. I linked mine with my Twitter, my personal Facebook, and the Facebook page for my blog. That way I don't have to be by my computer once my post goes live--Hootsuite will share it for me. It's also helpful for those times that you find something that you want to share right after you just Tweeted. Instead of wondering if it's socially acceptable to share two things in a row, use Hootsuite and schedule the second thing for later on!
Related: Blogging With Purpose
Up until about a year ago, I was definitely underutilizing Pinterest. I had no idea how powerful Pinterest was, and I never imagined how much it would help grow my blog. Last year I found out you could create "Pin-it" icons to help users Pin posts directly from your blog. It makes it a lot more likely that people will pin your content, rather than just re-pinning it if they come across it on Pinterest. In November I wrote a post that got more attention Pinterest than I had ever experienced before. My post "7 Things I Never Want My Little Sister to Feel" has received around 15,000 views to date, and Pinterest seems to be the primary way that readers find it. Do not underestimate the power of Pinterest!
TIP: I recently learned from The Nectar Collective that Pinterest uses a "Smart Feed" which means pins are not shared chronologically, but rather "best pins" are shared first. One of the things that Pinterest looks at is the quality of the user, so if you go through and delete pins that have not been re-pinned, you will improve your user quality!
I don't know about you, but I love Twitter. I would even go as far as to say that I love Twitter more than Facebook. Twitter is a great way to connect with other bloggers. If I come across a blogger that I like, the first thing that I do is follow them on Twitter, because it is a great way to get your content out there. It's also a way that I have gotten to know some of the bloggers I follow better. I have engaged in Twitter conversations and Twitter chats, shared other bloggers' posts, and increased my blog following through Twitter. Many people spend a great deal of time on Twitter, especially since it is so easily accessible to scroll through on your phone. So take advantage of that!
TIP: Schedule to share content around lunch time, because a lot of people are looking through social media while they are eating or waiting for lunch!
For a while I questioned whether or not Facebook was really helping me increase my views. But when I looked into where my traffic was coming from, I realized a good portion of it is still coming from Facebook. It also came as a surprise to me how many people that I knew in real life were actually reading my blog. I have had people Facebook message me or come up to me and tell me how much they enjoy reading my blog (some of these people I haven't seen or talked to in years). And you have no idea how much that means to me! Seriously, this thing is my baby, and it still shocks me when people tell me that they are actually reading it. I actually had someone message me THANKING ME for inviting them to like the Facebook page that I created for my blog. Can you believe that?! That was back when I was just figuring out what the heck I was actually doing in the blogosphere, and it was one of the best compliments I have ever received. Thank YOU for reading my blog! So if you have questioned whether or not Facebook is really worth your time, I urge you to keep posting. You never know who is actually reading and who you could be having an impact on through your words.
TIP: Share other relevant articles, pictures or quotes on the page for your blog. It will help you keep an active social media presence even when you don't have a post to share.
Here's what I like about Bloglovin': you can have all of the blogs you follow right in front of you. Most serious bloggers have a Bloglovin' account, so it's likely you can follow them this way. It is a feed of all of the recently published content of the bloggers you follow. Additionally, you can go to anyone's account and scroll through their posts. It is a quick and easy way to find content that you are interested in! You can also save posts to refer back to later, and now you can even put them in certain categories--kind of like Pinterest. Also, once you connect your blog with Bloglovin', it automatically publishes your new posts to your account. So it saves you that extra step of having to post it yourself!
I love Instagram almost as much as I love Twitter. I am in no way an insta-expert. But I highly envy those who are, and if you could share your ways (or maybe just take pictures for me), that would be stellar. Regardless, it is such a fun way to share photos and even promote your blog! I have noticed a lot of my favorite bloggers rock at Instagram, which is no surprise, because they already have amazing photos on their blogs. I like to think of it this way: what does my Instagram say about me? Since I have a public profile with a link to it on my blog, I want everything I post to fit with my brand and best represent me. (P.S. Whitney Blake, if you ever see this, you are an Instagram Goddess, and I love all of your Instas!)
TIP: Use the Location feature to share the URL to your blog if the pic is related to content you are sharing that day!
Notes about other social media
A lot of bloggers have a Google+, but honestly I don't use mine that much. I feel like my time is best spent on the aforementioned social media. Also, I have noticed that bloggers like, Helene from Helene In Between, are now using Snapchat to promote their blogs as well! And I think that is a really neat idea. Snapchat has definitely evolved in the last few years, and a lot of celebrities are even beginning to use it as a way to share more intimate moments with fans. However, you probably won't see me making my Snapchat public anytime soon. It was a little difficult for me to make Twitter into a space to promote my blog at first, because it was originally just a fun place to share my thoughts with friends. So for now I plan to keep Snapchat as something fun I do with friends, but who knows, maybe one day I will join the Snapchat-Promotion bandwagon, too.
Happy Fourth of July weekend! I can't wait to see what you are all up to via social media! Do you have big plans for the weekend?

Invasive plant species can pose quite a challenge. Because they grow aggressively and displace native plants, invasives can upset the balance of existing ecosystems. They are difficult to control and tend to dominate whole areas, making them highly undesirable.
Without natural predators, pests or disease to keep them in check, invasives spread rapidly. Bull Thistle, for example, was introduced into the US during the 19th century and is now established in all 50 states, several of which have designated it as a noxious weed.
Japanese Stiltgrass, native to East Asia, is believed to have accidentally arrived in the United States through its use as a packing material. Each plant can produce up to 1,000 seeds annually and each seed can live up to five years. Given sufficient soil nutrients and moisture, the plant can tolerate lowlight environments and conversely, with adequate light, it can survive in low-nutrient and low-moisture environments. Once established, Japanese Stiltgrass can form dense monocultures that suppress most native understory plants.
Prevention is one way to control invasives. Act quickly to remove them when they first appear in low numbers or are confined to a small area, before they become a bigger problem. Be sure to dispose of invasive plants carefully and replace them with natives and noninvasives.
To prevent Japanese Stiltgrass from spreading, mow late in the growing season (August-September) when plants are flowering but before seed has set. Early season mowing won't help because plants will soon respond with new growth and flower production and banked seeds can still produce a new crop of seeds by the end of the growing season.
One of the best ways to keep invasive plants out of your lawn is to make sure your desirable grass is as robust as possible. A healthy lawn can out-compete weeds and invasive plants.

A 15-year-old boy was robbed at gunpoint and roughed up by a group of seven people near the Ogilvie Transportation Center Tuesday evening, police said.
The boy was in the 100 block of North Clinton Street, on the same side of the street as Ogilvie, when he was approached by seven men or boys about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to police. One of them took out a handgun and demanded the boy's money and valuables, and another hit him in the back of the head, police said.
The robbers went through the boy's pockets and took his cell phone, a bus card and cash from him, according to a police report. The seven then fled, police said.

Warranty Return Process
A Warranty Request Form should be filled out before sending in any part for warranty return. This form can either be filled out electronically and emailed, or you can print and write out your information. Please complete the form to the best of your ability. The more complete the information we receive, the faster we can facilitate a refund or replacement. It will also help speed up the return process if you include a copy of your original invoice. Prior to sending in your part, please call us at (800) 823-4444 and speak with one of our parts specialists. They will give you a Return Merchandise Authorization number (or RMA) to include with your warranty return.
Valid Warranty Situations
Defective items that are still within the manufacturers warranty period may be returned for an exchange or refund depending upon the manufacturers policy. A Manufacturer Warranty must be filed with the part manufacturer directly as opposed to sending to us to cover warranty. An example of this would be a FASS Fuel System because in order to retain warranty you must register the equipment with FASS upon installation. Items that have failed due to improper installation and/or negligence in correct usage by the purchaser/owner are NOT eligible for warranty return in any situation.

WOW Erika such a nice post chock full of wonderful images.
I would have been thrilled to see those dancers. The day we walked around Taos it was "closed" with not much going on at all.
Calls for a return visit sometime to explore further.
Your page is very colorful and cool.

Letter to the Editor: Remembering Cleddis Haught
By Tommy Haught, Jr.
As many of you probably know, long-time Goreville resident, Cleddis Haught, died on Christmas morning.
I should probably say that we should not be sad. We should not be sad because my grandfather lived a long life. That he did everything on his own terms and with good humor. That, until the very end, he enjoyed good health and that he is now back with his wife, my grandmother, Kay.
But despite all of this, despite the fact that this last weekend my entire family, as well as many of you, gathered in Goreville to celebrate his life, I am still sad. I am sad because Cleddis was an extraordinary person.
I remember spending a summer in Goreville when I was in junior high school. I was probably 11 or 12 years old. First things were first, Cleddis took me for a proper haircut, which means he had all my hair buzzed off. But I remember over those weeks, Cleddis and Kay took me swimming, go-carting, miniature golfing, the type of things that I am certain they had absolutely no interest in doing, but they wanted to make sure I had a good summer.
After Kay passed, I would come to Goreville every November, and my grandfather would open his home to me, and he would open his home to my friends. The point of these November trips was supposed to be deer hunting. But after a few years, when people would ask, I'd just tell them the truth, the trip was so that I could visit my grandfather.
I could tell story after story about the fun we would have on these trips. Going to the riverboat to gamble, making the winner buy breakfast when we were done. Cleddis would insist that his pancakes be cooked well done, or he wouldn't eat them.
Many years ago, on one of these hunting trips, my friend's wife sent us down with homemade spaghetti sauce, complete with sausage and meatballs. It turned out, however, that the sauce was a little too tangy for Cleddis. So much so that he thought his indigestion was a heart attack. We took him to the hospital, and when he found out it was only indigestion, he celebrated the way only Cleddis would, he ate pizza with jalapeño peppers.
I can remember another time, when my grandfather was a young man, only in his mid 80's. I brought my kids to the spillway. My daughter and I started hiking up the rocks and my grandfather was behind us. After a few minutes, I stopped to look back to see how far the old man was behind us. When I did, he almost bumped into me because he was right there with us. He could keep up with any of his grandkids. Truth is, he could keep up with any of his great-grandkids. Whether it was just down to his pond to fish, or up a rock face at Ferne Clyffe, it didn't matter.
The one thing Cleddis was, everyone will agree, was busy. Always something to fix, somewhere to be, someone to see. And even though I could tell a hundred more stories, you could simply pull any longtime Goreville resident off the street and likely they could tell you a good story or two about my grandfather. That's how he was. That's who he was.
I don't think there is a person reading this that would not be happy to live more than ninety years, with the health, stamina and vigor that my grandfather had. And despite the sadness, we should celebrate a life lived on one's own terms.
Finally, I wanted to give special thanks and acknowledgment to my aunt Paula and my uncle Joe. Although Cleddis enjoyed good health for almost his entire life, he did not enjoy good health at the very end, and Paula and Joe took very good care of him when he really needed it. I want them to know that has not gone unnoticed by the rest of our family.
Cleddis is now officially laid to rest, next to Kay, and just a few hundred yards from his home. I was there, just a couple of days ago, and it's a beautiful view and a place where I know he has found peace.

Who won the 2013 Commercial Truck of the Year award? Sorry, I can't tell you, even if I knew. I should know because I'm the chief judge and have the tally sheets from the judging, but they're still in my briefcase and I won't look at them until after I write this.
There's no hurry to add up the points because the winners of the heavy and medium-duty categories won't be announced until next February at the American Truck Dealers convention in New Orleans. ATD sponsors the annual competition, now in its sixth year, and Barbara Robinson, ATD's executive director, hasn't bugged me about it, even though it's been a couple of weeks since the judging was done on Oct. 18.
That was a warm and humid Friday, when representatives of four builders presented seven trucks to three judges. This was at Manheim Auto Auction's facility in Orlando, Fla., which had the space and people with the willingness to accommodate us.
Scott Zahn, Manheim's specialty manager in Orlando, suggested a route that we could drive. I ran it the day before in my rental car and decided that it was a good one, combining streets and expressway running to give us a taste of what each truck and tractor could do.
At first it was fun for us judges, but then became work as we listened closely to what the reps said about their trucks before taking them out on the course. We did the three heavy trucks first, then the four mediums, and it seemed like a long day even though it spanned only eight or so hours.
There was a bit of tension because we wanted to make fair and proper judgments in each of 19 scoring categories. The object was to judge each truck based on its intended application, not against competitors. This removes the apples-to-oranges problem when trucks are set up for different hauling roles.
Several builders who entered trucks in previous contests were notably absent this time. They didn't say why, but we think they got tired of spending money to send some very able vehicles and earnest people to the judging, only to see competitors repeatedly win. A few builders have never won – something which has surprised and bothered me – and are the ones who didn't show up this year. I can't blame them for being glum, except to say that we judges scored all the trucks as we saw them and let the points fall where they did.
I feel that there are no losers in this competition because all entries have been excellent trucks, and said so during the last announcement at the ATD meeting earlier this year in Las Vegas. But that sounds pretty hollow when a few minutes later, reps from a competitor are on the stage, smiling broadly as they accept a trophy, and you're not.
There were also fewer judges this time than in past years, because not as many reporters had planned to be in Orlando for the big ATA management meeting which had been the hoped-for draw. And, two of the five judges scheduled to be there had to suddenly cancel for personal and business reasons. That left me; Jim Park, HDT's equipment editor; and Jack Roberts, CCJ's executive editor. We all have CDLs, so could drive the heavies as well as the mediums.
The fall-off in entries and attendance caused us to talk with Barbara Robinson about the judging procedure, and we came up with some ideas: Invite a few professional drivers, truck technicians, and fleet managers to act as judges, along with the magazine editors who have been doing it. They'd provide perspectives that we scribes don't have, and might see things that we miss. But they'd have to be from "neutral" companies (leasing firms?) to avoid any biases for or against particular truck brands. We'll be talking further about this.
Anyway, here are the trucks entered this year, in the order that I inspected and drove them. Don't take the comments as hints, because I really don't know yet who won:
- Kenworth T880 dump truck – This new model was among a few construction trucks entered over the years, as most have been freight haulers. And it was one of the nicest, with an upscale interior, strong Paccar MX-13 diesel and Eaton UltraShift Plus automated transmission. A dump truck has never won before, but who knows?
- Peterbilt 579 sleeper-cab tractor – Cushy and comfortable, it also had an MX-13/UltraShift powertrain, and loads of nicely organized living space. If you've gotta go out on the road for weeks at a time, this is one of the finest ways to do it.
- International ProStar+ daycab tractor – Work-a-day trim and a 10-speed Fuller manual gearbox did not overshadow a decent ride and other attributes, including a 450-horse Cummins ISX15 that was satisfying to drive. And re-embracing Cummins is one of the wiser things that Navistar's new management has done.
- Hino 195h CC – The crew-cab version of last year's medium-duty winner provides room for three more people while retaining its slick diesel-electric hybrid operation. The cab doesn't tilt, so pre-trip checks require lifting a seat and pulling up a foot cushion to look at oil and transmission dipsticks, and I'm not sure about serious servicing. Hmm.
- International TerraStar crew-cab 4x4 – This black-and-chrome show truck had a serious flatbed body and towed an equipment trailer toting a backhoe to add some weight and further demonstrate its workability. The long cab is rather roomy, and the MaxxForce 7 V-8 diesel and Allison automatic made it scoot. The 2-speed transfer case and front-driving axle were ready but not needed where we drove.
- Peterbilt 220 right-hand-drive – The special chassis had air tanks between the frame rails and all exhaust aftertreatment equipment stacked close to the cab's rear, thus keeping the frame almost completely clear for a bulky body. It was absent, but the truck was built for street sweeping, which explained the British-style controls. Driving from the right side of the cab didn't feel as strange as I expected.
- Kenworth K370 – A more normal take on the Paccar-built low-cab-forward series, this truck likewise had no body, though a van of some sort seems logical. A Pete version won the midrange class a couple of years ago, but a cab-and-chassis-only truck is hard to judge. Let's see what the points bring – and that goes for all of these trucks.

Sidra Medical and Research Center is proud to support International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW), which occurs globally October 18-24. Infection prevention is a vital part of any clinical setting but this is also something that can be practiced at home in order to keep germs at bay. The best way to help stop the spread of infections is by cleaning your hands and asking everyone around you to do the same. Hand hygiene can be critical in saving lives.
To celebrate International Infection Prevention Week, we've got some advice on how to wash your hands effectively from Val Harmon, Infection Prevention and Control Manager at Sidra. Effective hand washing is a vital way to prevent the spread of infection and bacteria such as MRSA, Clostridium difficile, Salmonella and the flu virus so here are some top tips on best practice:
- Remove all jewelry and watches before washing
- Wet hands with water and apply enough soap to cover all hand surfaces
- Rub hands palm to palm
- Put your right palm over the back of the other hand with interlaced fingers and vice versa
- Rub palm to palm with fingers interlaced
- Put the back of your fingers to opposing palms with fingers interlocked
- Do rotational rubbing of left thumb clasped in right palm and vice versa
- Do rotational rubbing backwards and forwards with clasped fingers of right hand in left palm and vice versa
- Rinse hands with water
- Dry thoroughly with a towel
- Use elbow to turn off tap
- Steps 3 – 8 should take at least 15 seconds

Condor Resources reports high grade results from La India project
Condor Resources (LON:CNR) released a strong set of drilling results from its wholly owned La India gold project in Nicaragua and announced the discovery of the new Natalia vein.
Today's drilling report included the results received by the company since the last drilling update on December 20, including the last drill hole on the La India vein set and nine drill holes on the America vein set totalling 2,331 metres.
Condor reported a wide high grade gold intercept on the India-California structure including 4.19 metres grading 6.94 grammes per tonne (g/t) from the California vein and an interval of 7.37 metres at 6.31 g/t gold from the India vein.
The company said the two veins are just 25 metres apart at this intercept, which "adds credibility" to the potential for open pit mining.
The most significant results came from the Natalia vein, which was intercepted in six out of nine drill holes and is open in both directions along strike. The grades reported form this vein included 4.22 g/t gold over eight metres.
Condor is currently working on determining the 2012 drill programme, which it hopes will help it hit its target of increasing the La India resource to two million ounces of gold.
The company also plans to convert inferred resources into the indicated category, define potential open pit targets and proceed with feasibility studies for a commercial mine.
Condor decided to pause drilling during January to reassess its exploration strategy following the larger than expected mineral resource of 1.62 million ounces at La India announced on December 30.
Last week, the company received data for 3D models used to interpret the resource and plan future drill programmes.
New targets generated by the 2011 drilling campaign and recommendations from a mine concept study by consultants SRK Consulting will be used to determine drill programmes for 2012.
Investors welcomed the report as shares in Condor rose four per cent to trade at 6.75 pence in early deals, valuing the company at £37.7million.
Broker Ocean Equities said: "Condor's potential to find an open pit deposit has increased with these results on the main vein set areas, but we are also hopeful that meaningful results from the Central Breccia Zone in the near term which is clearly a likely open pit target.
"Completion of an internal concept study on mining the La India deposits has been positive and has given Condor a frame of reference to conduct future drilling. We believe this is a great result as it puts Condor on the track towards development and the company has now got a scheme of work that can be matured into preliminary assessments and feasibility studies on La India."
As at 4pm, the firm's shares stood up 5.77 per cent, to trade at 6.88 pence each.

The Art & Science of Building Power
By: Sybil Lewis
Understanding the demographic changes, public narratives, and campaign strategies that led us first to Barack Obama and then to Donald Trump is critical to building an electorate across race, class, gender, generational, and geographic lines that can guide the US political order into one that is firmly rooted in an ethos of belonging. In an attempt to address the precarious political situation we find ourselves in today, four scholars and political activists at the Othering & Belonging conference sought to deconstruct the 2016 presidential election and strategize new ways to energize voters of color and create new narratives on what politics can do for the people.
Taeku Lee, Professor of Political Science and Law at UC Berkeley and Associate Director of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society, moderated the contentious-at-times panel discussion, entitled "Participation, Politics, and the Progressive Project: Where Do We Go From Here?" The panel featured Ravi K. Perry, Associate Professor of Political Science at Virginia Commonwealth University, Marshall Ganz, Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Lisa García Bedolla, Chancellor's Professor in UC Berkeley's School of Education and Travers Department of Political Science.
Ganz, who created an agency-based framework for organizing and is credited with developing the grassroots organizing model for Barack Obama's winning 2008 presidential campaign, noted that there are three elements critical to a political campaign: a compelling story, a strategy to gain power, and a structure that organizes people. The interplay of these three items manifested remarkably differently in the 2008 and 2016 presidential election.
"Trump, unlike Obama, was organizing out of fear and anger," Ganz said. "When people are mobilized on fear, they come to depend on you—you are the savior, you rob people of their agency and turn them against everybody else because you are going to save our group."
Obama, on the other hand, mobilized out of hope. "which enhances people's agencies."
"It is 'yes, we can' and not 'yes, I can,' and together we engage with the problems that we have to face," he said. "We didn't have that counter-narrative in any effective way in 2016, so Trump carried the day."
Lee asked the panelists if the way forward for progressive movements is to build on the current structures, or to radically break from the past and create a new movement. Perry, an expert on Black politics and minority representation, argued that the question presumed one could not have both.
"I believe in a dual strategy," Perry said. "I believe that we can and should be in street corner as loud as we can and all the metaphors that that inspires and engenders. But also that we have to engage in institutions of politics because if we are not engaged in institutions, which is where power is located in the US, then you already have set yourself to lose."
Progressives have to deal with the "real world," he said, and despite many Progressives' unease with the Democrats, "the reality is...the only locus of opportunity for African Americans to solve short-term problems today is the Democratic Party."
All panelists agreed that the Democratic Party had failed to mobilize and engage voters in a collective agenda during the 2016 presidential campaign. García Bedolla, who is also a co-founder of the American Majority Project Research Institute, argued that the party made the mistake of assuming that people of color would be mobilized by fear and anger alone, thus, focusing on individual pathology, rather than engaging with voters to understand nuances within communities of color and to understand larger structures, such as voter suppression and disenfranchisement, that influence voter turnout.
The final question of the evening urged panelists to discuss the roles of identity politics in the Progressive Left. Perry stated that voting by group interests can produce positive results as it requires people to think beyond individual gain. García Bedolla challenged the audience to move beyond the term "identity politics" as it can trivialize structural positions and experiences and that many successful campaigns form coalitions while continuing to do community-driven work. The goal, Ganz stated, should not be to negate identity politics or issue-specific efforts but to further include them into a larger idea of progressive politics.
While the panel addressed setbacks in the progressive Left's movement, the tone of the conversation remained hopeful as past experiences were used as lessons for future organizing.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Oversupply conditions in Asia's butyl glycol (BG) key import market China may worsen, with fresh supply from Saudi Arabian producer Sadara Chemical expected to hit the region in the third quarter.
Market players are concerned that the new supply will aggravate downward pressure on BG prices in this region.
In the week ended 7 June, spot BG prices averaged $1,060/tonne CFR (cost and freight) China for cargoes subject to import duty, down by $55/tonne from the previous week, according to ICIS data.
Spot prices in China started to drop since early April and till the week ended 7 June it had dropped by around 10%.
Sadara Chemical Company, which is a joint venture (JV) between US' Dow Chemical and Saudi Aramco, has started commercial production of butyl glycol ether (BG) at a new plant in Jubail , as per its announcement on 8 June.
The plant produces multiple grades of liquid derivatives, including butoxy glycol ether, butoxy diglycol ether, butoxy tri glycol ether and butoxy poly glycol ether, according to the company.
It has a combined BG and butyl di-glycol (BdG) capacity of 200,000 tonnes/year; and is expected to serve markets in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
"The start-up of Sadara [BG plant] will definitely have an impact on the market. It is, after all, a big facility," a BG importer in China said.
"However, the impact may not be immediate as it will take time for the market to assess the competitiveness of the new supply," he said.
The new BG supply from Saudi Arabia would supplement Dow's current supply from the US into Asia, and the first shipment is expected to reach Asia in August or September, according to market sources.
Sales discussions are yet to start for the first shipment, according to market sources.
End-buyers and importers are closely monitoring developments related to Sadara's new facility, and are taking a cautious approach when purchasing cargoes.
Others foresee a period of rebalancing and adjustment with the new supply.
A source familiar with the matter said that as the plant is new, it would probably take some time to raise its production rate and perhaps production in full capacity would start from next year.
In China BG spot prices started declining in recent weeks as a result of softening domestic market amid weak demand.
Demand slows down in China and the region because of the lull summer season that typically starts in July, market players said.
Sentiments are bearish and some importers have put aside discussions for import cargoes as they take a wait-and-see approach.
The yuan-denominated (CNY) spot prices of imported BG in eastern China have shed 8.5% over a two-week period to around CNY8,600/tonne ex-tank on Wednesday, according to Chinese importers.
Demand for BG in China has been hit by stricter environmental checks being conducted by the Chinese government on manufacturing plants since the start of the year.
Some downstream small enterprises in the coating industry have had to shut down production or reduce output as a consequence.
Meanwhile, prices are likely to increase in southeast Asia this week, as regional producer Petronas Chemicals Group implemented a price hike on BG on the back of tight supply ahead of its plans to go on a turnaround in mid-July for two months.

Feminism Has Become the Superficial Fashion Trend of the Decade
Today everyone, it seems, is a feminist. Practically every female pop icon, actress, and model has proclaimed herself to be a feminist.
Once a movement dedicated to improving the lives of women of all shapes, colors, and sizes, feminism has gone commercial — and upmarket. Indeed, feminism today is more a fashion statement than a political cause pursuing equality for women. Just ask Dior. For its Spring 2017 collection, Dior joined the feminist movement with a white tee that reads "We Should All Be Feminists".
Going mainstream has meant that feminism is now banal and non-threatening. Yet feminism has become so non-threatening that even the fashion industry uses the movement to boost sales, printing millions of white tees and handbags with slogans like "The Future Is Female" and "Feminist as Fuck." The ambiguity of the label itself has become so obscured that it is easy for anyone to claim it.
The commercialization of feminism, in my opinion, is detrimental to the entire movement. Feminism has abandoned its core values and transformed into something that can be defined and customized differently by each woman, depending on her purpose. When women define what feminism means to them, they tend to forget it's about equality for all women. They are focus on themselves. It has become like buying a luxury T-shirt.
Dior's "We Should All Be Feminists" tee, incidentally, cost $710 — and is currently sold out. It was only after receiving criticism, however, that Dior made the decision for an unspecified percentage of proceeds to go to the Clara Lionel Foundation, Rhianna's non-profit organization. Bernard Arnault, the French billionaire whose LVMH luxury giant owns Dior, will be the primary beneficiary from the sales. Yet girls don't seem bothered by this and flock to buy their feminist tees because, hey, they're cute and make a great pic.
As feminism is spun by celebrities, CEOs, and beauty companies into self-serving brands driven by glossy marketing strategies, young people have followed the trend towards focusing on the superficial. have also adopted their own take on feminism. However, the center of the conversation has turned from subjects like the wage gap to the politics of bikini waxing and how women need to "Free the Nipple."
Often, feminist youth label such acts as "empowering." I have difficulty understanding what is empowering when a gender pay gap still exists; when women have to work harder to prove themselves to achieve top positions; when domestic violence is still tolerated in certain cultures; and when women still have to fight for proper paid family leave and child care in developed nations like the US. If feminism has become so popular, why are we still fighting the battles for gender equality? What have the celebrities done to change this? In the search for universality, feminism has clearly lost its fundamental purpose.
All the hype and celebrity endorsements surrounding universal feminism do not represent the critical issues women face every day. The media has shaped mainstream feminism, undermining the fundamental purpose of feminism and ignoring the realities of working women, poor women, rural women, whose voices are not heard, and who live outside the cultured metropolitan areas where mainstream feminists live. Sadly, the voice of feminism has become a link on social media, an article in Huffington Post, a brand or celebrity trying to sell a product or support a movement. Feminism has become not so much anymore about seeking equality, but more about self-empowerment and personal gain.

How Free Are You?By
Most people are not really free, because without economic freedom, it's impossible. If you're not free, what will it cost to buy your freedom? Watch this short video from Freedom Fest in Las Vegas and take the challenge. Economic freedom is closer than most people think. It only takes one good opportunity.
If we do what we have to do, not what we want to do, then we are not free. Much of that comes from being obligated to cover the "expenses" of life by performing for someone other than ourselves.
So many people have worked, fought, and yes – died – to give me the freedoms I have today. However, if I don't take advantage of those freedoms, then all that work and sacrifice will be for naught. I would be voluntarily rejecting all that has been handed to me.
I'm not going to let that happen.
freedom is a tough subject and has many facets. You can be in prison and still be mentally free (like Nelson Mandela), you can have all the money in the world, but worry so much about this on a daily basis, that you are a slave of your own greed. And total freedom is anarchy. You need to be free from something and for you to feel free (which is really an emotional state) you need to define for yourself, what you want to be free of: The daily grind of money earning? your health problems? your boss? which country you want to live in? your social standing? etc etc.
Working towards any of these self defined freedoms will then give you the motivation to become financially free, so you can afford the other (and hopefully more important) freedoms.
Just my 2 cents (which will multiply soon)

Born in 1911, Josef Mengele was a philosophy student who would go on to become one of the most frightening faces of the Holocaust. Known as the Angel of Death, many facts about Josef Mengele have become interwoven with rumors and conjecture that have changed him from the Nazi doctor that created a tangible Hell in Auschwitz to a boogeyman who still haunts the secret history of Europe and America into the 21st century.
Who was Josef Mengele? As you'll come to discover, he was a complicated and unusual blotch on German society, and despite being an unrepentant champion of the decimation of an entire race of people, some of his medical findings strengthened the foundation of modern medicine. This list records some strange facts that you may not read in a standard Josef Mengele biography.
There is no easy way to talk about one of the most heinous war criminals of the 20th century. Josef Mengele was a horrible human being whose reputation has turned him into a super villain straight out of a Captain America story. But as you'll come to see, he was a regular person doing terrible things because he believed they were the right thing to do - which makes everything he accomplished at Auschwitz even more terrifying. We want people like Josef Mengele to be larger-than-life creeps who live in the shadows and feast on live rats, not chubby Austrians who listen to Mozart.
Just so you know, you'll probably have to take a few breaks to clear your head while reading this list of facts about Josef Mengele.
Mengele Was Obsessed with Studying Twins
One of the most well-known facts about Mengele is his sick fascination with twins. His experiments began as a way to further explore the Nazi's pet concept of eugenics, a philosophy advocating the improvement of human genetic traits through a systematic weeding out of perceived negative pieces of DNA, and after working with Professor Otmar Freiherr von Vershuer, Mengele believed that twins held a secret to understanding how one goes about physically removing genetic makeup.
Because twins were special to Mengele, they were afforded some of the basic human rights that the rest of the prisoners at Auschwitz were denied. You know, stuff like keeping their hair and wearing clothes. Sadly, that's where the positives of being considered one of "Mengele's Children" ended. The twins were subjected to brutal experiments that were obviously more about inflicting terror than real scientific investigation.
He May Have Created a Village of Twins in South America
In 2009, Jorge Camarasa, an Argentine historian, claimed that Josef Mengele used the Brazilian farming enclave of Candido Godoi as a laboratory to continue his experiments with twins. Camarasa's evidence is mostly predicated on the fact that beginning in 1963, the town's twin birthrate skyrocketed.
According to people who lived in Candido Godoi, Mengele came to town under the auspices of being a "rural doctor" who went from house to house helping with minor medical ailments and withdrawing vials of blood from everyone he treated (because duh, of course he did).
Since Camarasa floated this far-fetched theory, researchers have been arguing about the possibilities of something like this even occurring, with most scientists claiming that the isolation of the community has more to do with the twins than a mad scientist.
The US Actually Had Him in Custody
This is definitely one of the most frustrating parts of the Mengele story, and it shows just how chaotic things were at the end of the war. Immediately after Germany surrendered, Mengele was held in US custody, but because US officials were unaware that Mengele's name already stood on a list of wanted war criminals, they released him. Then, from the summer of 1945 until spring 1949, the physician, under false papers, worked as a farmhand near Rosenheim, Bavaria, before his wealthy family aided his emigration to South America.
He Gave People with Medical Anomalies Special Treatment in Auschwitz
Mengele was obsessed with physical abnormalities: not only because he thought that the key to perfecting eugenics lay somewhere in the bodies of the deformed, disabled, and different; but also he was just a really weird guy. So much has been written about Mengele's love for twins that people gloss over his odd fascination with a family suffering from dwarfism who arrived in Auschwitz. Mengele was so obsessed with the Ovtizes, a family of seven little people from Transylvania, that he allowed them to keep their clothes and their hair while siphoning their blood, removing their teeth, and placing them under intense psychological scrutiny.

With anti-fracking protests ongoing in New Brunswick, Premier David Alward has been going around with a strangely blissful look on his face, proclaiming his determination to forge ahead because of the gusher of tax revenues and jobs he claims will surely follow.
New Brunswick, running deficits of over a half billion dollars a year, is especially desperate, which is unfortunately what all this is about. But the issue reverberates in other provinces, including Nova Scotia.
The protests are over the environment but, alas, there's a deeper source of trouble afoot for the fracking industry: it's from the heart of the financial world where billions of dollars are being lost and the sense of having been suckered by hype is setting in.
Some saw it coming. The conservative business magazine Forbes argued a while back that the profitability of fracking was a fantasy and that "we can expect some staggering investment errors" because what it's all about is "some very stupid money chasing an illusion that will surely end in tears."
The tears are now flowing. The head of Shell Oil said recently that investing $24 billion in fracking was one of his biggest regrets, as he writes down huge losses. Other operators are doing the same — names like H.P. Billiton, Chesapeake, Encana. Some CEOs have lost their jobs over it. Apparently the ones who made money are those who sold out to "stupid money" before the jig was up.
Hydraulic fracturing, like extracting tar sands oil, is very expensive. It is also very short-lived. A fracked well is not like a regular natural gas (or oil) deposit. Production declines by as much as 50 per cent or more in the first year, as much as 80 per cent by the second, after which it's a dribble. To keep gas coming you have to keep fracking. And with the gold-rush mentality surrounding it, and cheap financing, the industry — even at a loss — has flooded North America and driven prices below the cost of production.
The next step was supposed to be LNG terminals to ship gas to Asia, where gas prices are four or five times higher than here. Alas, again, sober voices are saying there may not be enough to export. The gas that was supposed to keep the U.S. awash in the stuff for 100 years is now, according to some accounts, due to peak within the decade.
The Marcellus shale formation in Pennsylvania, first hyped as containing as much a 500 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas, has now been reduced by the U.S. Geological Survey to perhaps as little as 80 tcf. And the California government, like David Alward's, had itself briefly in ecstasy at the prospect, according to early estimates, of $25 billion in tax revenue and three million jobs by 2020 from its Monterey formation. The geologists took a second look and the story now is: with present technology, forget it.
As for the environment, just two points. The effects will only be known slowly because most U.S. fracking happens on private lands, where owners have to sign confidentiality agreements. In other words, no wimping and whining about polluted rivers and dead cattle. And, according to reports, lobbying money from the fracking industry is pouring into the U.S. Congress in unprecedented amounts to snuff a measure that would force frackers to disclose what chemicals they use in their operations.
But here are two bigger points. Irrational energy illusions are nothing new as we seek the magic potion that will relieve us of our dreary duty to seriously change our ways — use less, use it more efficiently, and seek the alternatives.
Nuclear was supposed to be, by now, "too cheap to meter," according to the head of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in the mid-1950s. Ethanol mixed with gasoline, another of many hyped saviours that flashed by, is now suspected to be damaging engines, and lawsuits are at the ready in the U.S.
Meanwhile, here in Nova Scotia, fracking is one of those notions that creeps into the economic development debate. More and more commentators raise opposition to fracking — which is under moratorium here — as more evidence of our entrepreneurial backwardness and our government's lack of Alberta (and New Brunswick)-style "political courage."
Further, a U.S. report by a Montana institute called Headwaters Economics, which has studied western U.S. counties that had oil and gas plays from 1980 to 2011, just fell into my lap.
It found that the effect of this mostly temporary activity left these counties with higher crime rates and lower educational achievement than their neighbours, and with declining per capita incomes.
As we struggle with our own economic future, here's hoping that the Ivany Commission, which is studying the rural economy in Nova Scotia, keeps all this in perspective.

A Few Amazing Holiday Destinations in Europe
Europe is one of the smallest, yet most important continents on our planet. The word Europe makes people think about different things. Some people think about the beautiful cities there. Others imagine the green meadows and fertile valleys. There are also people who think about history and art. In any case, Europe definitely promises excellent holiday experience that you can't find on any other continent. If you want to get the most from your next trip in Europe, we have created a list of places that you may want to visit while you are there.
Rome is the capital city of Italy and one of cities that is usually listed on popular European tours. Rome has always been a popular destination for tourists mostly because of its artistic beauties and original traditions. We should not forget that Rome has a rich archeological offer too. Visitors will get a chance to enjoy in some of the most magnificent art collections from almost every period of human civilization. The beautiful architecture of this city can be witnessed in places like Palatine Hill, St. Peter's Basilica, Ostia Antica and the many museums located in Vatican.
This may not be a capital city, but Barcelona is equally important and beautiful as the well-known European capitals. Barcelona alone is a magnet for millions of visitors from every part of the world each year. This city is home to some of the most famous heritage sites in the world including Hospital de Sant Pau and Park Guell. This is also a city packed with historical structures, beaches, parks and other interesting places. The best part is that you can choose between super luxurious hotels and inexpensive hostels when it comes to accommodation. Choose the option that suits your budget the best.
When people think about Europe, they usually focus on the Western part of this amazing continent. However, East Europe is very beautiful and attractive too. According to some experienced travelers, taking a tour in Europe without including the capital city of Hungary in it is a huge mistake. Budapest has unique architecture that mixes both western and eastern architectural styles. If you are looking for some good examples of this architecture then look for the Nagyteteny Castle Museum, Castle Hill and the Parliament Building.
Portugal, especially the capital city of this country, is a very attractive travel destination, but for some reason it is often forgotten by travelers. The fact is that Lisbon has great accommodation options and prices in general are lower than the prices in other European cities. The only downside is that you will have to look for an inexpensive transportation for a while. Once you arrive in Lisbon, take some time to check all the attractions in this city including the Vasco de Gama Tower, the Oceanarium and the Zoo. Lisbon was once one of the most active ports in Europe and there are many museums in this city where you can learn more about the glorious history of this city.
